Hi,

I have problems with placing editor contributions at specified place in the toolbar. Here is toolbar definition:

<menuContribution
locationURI="toolbar:org.eclipse.ui.main.toolbar">
<toolbar
id="toolbar.1file">
<command
commandId="de.ids.acos.et.client.app.commands.NewProject"
icon="icons/createNewModel.gif"
id="createnewmodel"
label="%NewProject.label"
style="push">
</command>
<command
commandId="de.ids.acos.et.client.app.commands.OpenProject"
icon="icons/open_project.gif"
id="openproject"
label="%OpenProject.label"
style="push">
</command>
<separator
name="additions">
</separator>
.....

And this is editor contribution:
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.editorActions">
<editorContribution
id="de.ids.acos.et.client.app.editorContribution"
targetID="de.ids.ctrlc.primary.ui.editors.GenericEditor">
<action
class="de.ids.acos.et.client.ui.eclipse.actions.EditorApplyAction "
definitionId="org.eclipse.ui.file.save"
icon="icons/disc.gif"
id="de.ids.acos.et.client.actions.EditorApplyAction"
label="%ApplyEditor.label"
menubarPath="file/seperator"
toolbarPath="toolbar.1file/additions"
tooltip="%ApplyEditor.label">
</action>
......
</editorContribution>
</extension>

As you can see, I'm trying to put EditorApply(save) action at the toolbar by specifying path 'toolbar1.file/additions'. The same action is contributed to the 'File' menu without problems, but doesn't appear in the toolbar at the specified path, rather showing to the right of all toolbars as a separate toolbar with editor contributed actions. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, can you enlighten me?

Thanks in advance,
Stanislav

Editor actions in the coolbar must not be "merged" properly with any
contributions that exist there (AFAICT your toolbarPath looks correct).

I would open a bug at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform &component=UI

You might be better served by using a command and a menuContribution
that has a visibleWhen:
<with variable="activeWEditorId">
<equals value="your.editor.id"/>
</with>
